“To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” The Indian festival of colours (or love) is a religious festival that marks the beginning of Spring time. Holi is a good time for people to get together and celebrate with friends…

You will have your down days, and you will have your amazing days. That’s how life works. We’re social beings made with emotions. How we navigate around the world is how much power we want to give these emotions. Emotions are exhausting to keep up with. They’re the instinctive feelings we get, and we can’t control…

I love projects. I compartmentalise in tasks, and greater than that, I spend my time organising events because I love the spontaneity and how it’s never the same thing. Recently, a friend of mine launched his app – Cloudline. Coded by himself. I know. If you’ve met me in the past year, you’ll probably know that I…

There is much to be done to be a progressive world. What is progressive and why do we need it? To progress in life and society is to progress in the way and standard of living. One approach of this notion is to say that as a minority, I don’t want to live by being…

I went to MediaCity UK‘s The Landing and made stuff. Quite simply, I went in to a Saturday workshop to experiment with engineering, coding and basically, practical stuff.

This week I’ll be speaking about photographing events. As a beginner, not a professional, getting paid for photographing events is a massive deal. Photography is one thing – you can photograph anything. Photographing events is a whole different world on its own. When I started photographing events, I had no idea what I was doing. Again, thank you Google for helping…

I put together some clips and some loose footage from the previous 2 months that I took on my phone… it’s experimental – so enjoy! This one is about a journey. Nowadays we’re used to routine, get on the bus, get off the bus when you’ve arrived. Listen carefully to this one.. (If you like…

I’m not religious, but Christmas, for me, has always been a time to celebrate the year we’ve had, the things we’ve experienced, and the things were grateful for. Much like Thanksgiving, Christmas is also about the food, but more importantly, about the company you have. Com-pa-ny: ˈkəmp(ə)nē/ noun: the fact or condition of being with another…

Let’s talk about commitment. Over the past few weeks I’ve learnt – not everything, but a lot. In one of the other blogs, I wrote what Startup Weekend was. What I didn’t tell you, is that that was the simple explanation from an observer’s point of view, a very two-dimensional, what-I-saw-on-the-surface post. What is Startup Weekend –…
